Sewing Summit

I'm so excited to share some big news with you this morning: I'm teaching at Sewing Summit 2012! I've been sitting on this secret for months now, so it feels good to finally spill it. Elizabeth and I are going to be team-teaching a class on foundation paper-piecing!

A foundation-pieced block I made for the 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know how much I love foundation piecing. It opens up so many design possibilities that can't be achieved any other way, and it helps you really nail the accuracy on even the most elaborate blocks. I know a lot of people are intimidated by foundation piecing, and it is a very different approach if you're used to the standard methods. But there's nothing like a real-time hands-on class when it comes to learning a skill like this, so I'm really looking forward to this classroom opportunity and working with each and every one of you that signs up!

And of course, this means I am also attending Sewing Summit! There are many other classes that look wonderful, and I'm hoping to attend some of them when I'm not on duty in my own sessions. And I am so very excited to see some familiar friendly faces from last year, as well as many new ones. Is it October yet? : )

Unfortunately, Sewing Summit 2012 registration is already sold out! But there is a wait list, in case more tickets become available later. Click here for more information.

I am so excited to meet you at Sewing summit. I love the foundation piecing block you posted. It is beautiful with such intricate detail. I have never tried foundation piecing, so I am really curious to learn about it. See you in October :)

Gorgeous block! I've never tried any type of paper piecing - maybe soon I'll get brave enough to give it a try. Congrats on your spot at the Sewing Summit! I really wanted to attend this year, but with 2 other trips, I just couldn't justify it!
